Current structure of a plasma focus during generation of fast particles
Filippov N.V.
A complex structure of the localized regions of generation of fast particles in the MeV range in a plasma focus as a result of azimuthal destruction of the current sheath was observed experimentally. The acceleration of particles is associated with dynamic dissipation of the magnetic field as a result of interchanging the magnetic lines of force. Such effect can explain the acceleration mechanism of neutron generation in classical linear pinches.
